We're not supporting async closures yet, but it should be possible to bridge into them same as with async funcs.
public func schedule(op: () async -> Void) {}

Research direction
Start in jextract by reading the existing async function bridging path and compare it with the schedule(op: () async -> Void) closure example. Implement equivalent bridging for async closures, then verify that the example can be consumed through the generated interop surface and that existing async function behavior remains unchanged.
